Head coach John Schultz spoke of the successful season the team had this year.
“I was very proud of our team,” said Schultz. “They never complained to the referees. My sister-in-law is a teacher in Blue Earth. She overheard a group of people commenting on how well-mannered and what good sports our girls were. The people talking didn’t know she was my relation.”
Each quarter, NRHEG Elementary has focused on a Kindness Matters theme. So far the themes have been “Kind Words or No Words,” “Kind Actions,” and “Manners Matter.” The fourth quarter will be “You Matter.”
Olivia Smith, Spencer Christensen and Elizabeth Karl were selected as the Kindness Matters winners for the third quarter. For their efforts, they will be treated to lunch with Elementary Coordinator Doug Anderson. Also nominated for selection were: Hanna Crabtree, Marlee Dutton, Brody Johnson, William Tutlle, Jason Malakowsky, Max Seltun, Wyatt Groskreutz, Brenlee Knudson, Torri Valle, Isaiah Huisman, Mckenna Schiell, Gadge Svoboda, Paul Heinle, Trey Hackett and Kendall Crosson.
“We are beginning to see that our collaborative effort between all students and staff is making a big impact,” said Barb Handahl, NRHEG Family Service Coordinator. “It is our commitment to providing an educational environment that is respectful, compassionate, safe, and welcoming to everyone who attends or works at NRHEG Elementary.”
